Trump's Tax Returns Part Of A 'Witch Hunt' By The Far-Left

Trump's Tax Returns Must be Released to Congress: Department of Justice

Tax officials must give former President Donald Trump's tax returns to a congressional panel, the Department of Justice said Friday.

*

The House Ways and Means Committee has long sought the returns, only to be stymied by federal officials. Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.), chairman of the panel, has said he wanted six years of Trump's tax returns as part of a possible adjustment of federal law concerning tax policies. The attempt was blocked by the Treasury Department during the Trump administration. The Department of Justice previously said that refusal did not violate the law, but under a new president is saying officials must hand the returns over to Neal.

"When one of the congressional tax committees requests tax  information pursuant to section 6103(f)(1), and has invoked facially  valid reasons for its request, the Executive Branch should conclude that  the request lacks a legitimate legislative purpose only in exceptional circumstances. The Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has invoked sufficient reasons for requesting the former President's tax information. Under section 6103(f)(1), Treasury must furnish the information to the Committee,"... The same office ruled in 2019 that Neal's panel was "disingenuous  about its true objective" in seeking Trump's returns, asserting Neal  appeared prepared to "expose" the documents if they were obtained...

Funny, no one questions Obama, Pelosi or any of those people?

"As I have maintained for years, the Committee's case is very strong and the law is on our side. I am glad that the Department of Justice agrees and that we can move forward," Neal told news outlets in a statement. Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Various Democrats after Trump was elected in 2016 launched efforts to obtain his tax returns, which he has refused to release to the public... "In our judicial system, 'the public has a right to every man's evidence.'... Chief Justice John  Roberts, a George W. Bush nominee, said at the time. Trump has called investigations such as Vance's a continuation of "a  political Witch Hunt" against him, referring to the long-running probe  that examined whether he or his associates colluded with Russia to  affect the 2016 election.
